    That is good news but when are they starting to actually perform checks and repairs?

    It is my understanding that this is what is proposed, but not finalized by the courts. Still being negotiated by BMW and the plaintiffs. Stay tuned for updates...

    Yeah it's not "official" yet, and apparently owners will be either notified via mail, or once it's cleared the court, then you can call up BMW or take your E60 to your local dealer for inspection, repair(s), etc.

    The plaintiffs council is pushing BMW to drop the 10 year provision, where the entire run of the e60-61 will be treated the same, before the courts sign off.

    Hopefully so! I have an 07 that's just under the 100k mark but was made in 06 so I wouldn't qualify...the 10 year limit is pretty stupid in my opinion. Another way they're trying to skimp on paying. That'll cut out a bunch of cars.

    I thought the E61 wagons suffered from clogged SR drains as well?

    If anyone receives anything official from BMW (in the mail or otherwise) please let us know.
